Porsche 944 rear brake lines question (T piece)

[Austin09]

Hi all

I’m in the process of refinishing my brakes - all new calipers, flexi hoses and lines.

I’m quite well progressed and will post photos and a write up when I get there but for now need some advice on the T piece.

The rear brakes are fed by a pipe from the front, and join a t piece which then splits off to each caliper. I need to replace the line to the front, the line over the torque tube to the left caliper set up and the right caliper.
For good order I’ll change the t piece too.

I’ve looked at the parts diagram and the t piece looks to be held in with a bolt, but mine looks to be a stud with a nut on, perhaps someone snapped in the past or perhaps this is how it was for my car (87 turbo)

Anyway enough rambling….

Has anyone relocated their t piece (access is limited so would save pain when reassembling)
Can anyone confirm the original set up was with a bolt?

Late reply, but just to confirm it is a stud with a nut on all cars.

Can't see any problem relocating it if you wanted to, you'd obviously have to modify the lines or make some new ones from copper nickel brake line etc.

The T piece is pretty standard and can be had for next to nothing from most places like ebay etc.
